Sperm head shaping is a key event in spermiogenesis and is tightly controlled via the
acrosome–manchette network. Linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes
consist of Sad1 and UNC84 domain–containing (SUN) and Klarsicht/ANC-1/Syne-1
homology (KASH) domain proteins and form conserved nuclear envelope bridges
implicated in transducing mechanical forces from the manchette to sculpt sperm nuclei into a
hook-like shape. However, the role of LINC complexes in sperm head shaping is still poorly …
